• How do I interpret The Forrester Wave™ report?

  The Forrester Wave™ provides a graphical and written competitive analysis of software, hardware or services vendors so that clients can make well informed purchasing decisions that drive differentiation and support their long-term strategies. Vendors are placed into one of four categories:
  • Leaders have both a strong product and strategy. Startups and established companies alike can rank as Leaders, distinguished by the market presence dimension.
  • Strong performers receive medium-high scores on both the product and strategy dimensions, and they are likely to appear on many users’ shortlists. On at least one dimension, however, they fall behind Leaders.
  • Contenders have products and strategies that, while credible, lag behind Strong Performers and Leaders.
  • Challengers either are not particularly strong in any of the dimensions or are strong in only one of the dimensions — e.g., a strong current offering but a weak strategy for the future, or a great strategy but without a product to match.
